I have come across sentences like these :

1)There are four members in my family : my father, my mother, my sister and I.

2) There are three members in my family. They are my father , my mother and I / me.

I would like to know which is correct. Thousand thanks

the second one is true.

Both "I" and "me" are correct. I would say "I", because I hear it as:
"My father, my mother, and I are the members of my family".
In other words, I hear the reference to myself as an implicit subject of sentence.
